php_extension xsl.so

After added the line above, it show the 500 internal server error. and recommend?

Answer 1

Apache accepts PHP settings inside .htaccess files only if PHP is installed as a module and thus loaded as part of it. If PHP is set up as CGI you're out of luck - this won't work.

If you can't directly edit the php.ini try putting a php.ini in the same folder as the .htaccess (sometimes it just works - if there's suphp or phpsuexec installed).

Another thing you can try is dl().
